BANGKOK — Bangkok jazz musicians are welcome to bring their weapons of choice to join or just enjoy a jam session to commemorate American trumpeter Miles Davis 25 years after he died.

 

Jazz folks will gather at a dive bar down in the Sathorn area on Wednesday for Miles Davis Throwback, to lay down some noise along with Miles Davis’ tracks in addition to the jazz jam session.

I love this guy. He defined cool.

He was way more than cool. That said, had Clifford Brown not died in a traffic accident at age 26 back in June 1956, Miles Davis might have shared the spotlight with Brown. Miles was technically unremarkable on trumpet. The way he was uniquely wired contributed to his genius as a musician, not unlike how Billie Holiday had her own unique wiring. Listen to what Max Roach had to say about Clifford Brown or listen to Brownie play.

Please for the love of God, no jam session. Imagine the racket with all those people who think they can play an instrument. Pattaya is full of wannabe musicians but very few have any talent
